Our mission is to help students achieve their academic goals by providing them with the best methods, instructors and learning environment possible. To do so, we’ve created a learning culture that adheres to the following ideals: |

MicroSchool Approach™ to Education
Ms. G’s believes in minimizing the student-to-teacher ratio as much as possible. Educators and parents both know that students learn more when they receive the undivided attention and care of a qualified teacher. At Ms. G’s, individual and small-group instruction options ensure that your child receives the level of personal attention that’s right for him/her. Our private enclosed tutoring rooms minimize noise distractions, leaving your child free to focus on learning from our tutors. |

Classroom Tested Methods
Twenty-five years of scientifically rigorous research conducted with thousands of elementary and high school students have enabled us to discover the very best ways of teaching every concept your child needs to know. Ms. G’s tutors use only those methods that are proven to maximize your child’s subject matter mastery, intellectual development and learning enjoyment. We combine curricular ordering principles, powerful visual dynamics, effective knowledge integration techniques and goal-focused strategies to deliver the highest quality instruction services to your child. We could intricately describe some examples of Ms. G’s innovative methods such as our “Sum and Product Factor Method”, “Circle-Line Prime Factor Tree Method”, or our “No-Pencil SAT prep method” but only by watching our tutors interact with students will you truly begin to appreciate just how powerful and effective our methods can be. We encourage you to visit our center to experience first-hand why Ms. G’s techniques are best for your child (please contact us to arrange an exploratory visit). |

“Before I came to Ms. G’s I had no idea how to factor. Ms. G’s made factoring a snap. Now it’s fun and I never get factoring problems wrong.” – Satisfied Student

Dual Mastery
Learning is a hierarchical process: Students must first master the basics before moving on to more advanced topics. But an unprecedented number of scholastic demands often leaves today’s students little time for review and reinforcement activities that are crucial to effective comprehension, retention and cognitive development. Without additional support, kids become disillusioned and stop learning altogether. Our tutors are trained to address foundational gaps in knowledge while they improve your child's performance on topics covered in class today. |

Curriculum Free Approach
Other centers stray into unfamiliar curricular territory which often causes rifts in the relationship between your child and his/her teacher (the so-called "Teacher-Tutor Conflict"). Our insistence on following your child’s school curriculum and teacher’s lesson plans elicits support instead of resentment from your child’s teacher and simplifies your child’s academic life. Our simple philosophy of "Cooperation, not Competition" underlies the development and execution of all our educational programs. If desired, we can also expand your child’s learning with advanced topics or greater depth in the assigned curriculum. |

The Ms. G’s Way
At Ms. G’s, we treat education as a process of mutual discovery. Through repeated instruction, interaction, observation, assessment and review, your child will discover new and better ways to learn the material, while our tutors discover the uniqueness of your child’s specific learning style that contributes to his/her educational goals. We get to know your child very well.
Whatever the subject or whoever the tutor, instruction at Ms. G’s always means:
- Painstaking attention to the details of your child’s learning processes. We spend time explaining points that other instructors may neglect or take for granted in their instructional methods.
- Easy-to-follow step-by-step methods your child will remember and want to use in school and at home.
- Constant review and reinforcement of previously learned concepts, integrating old and new material in meaningful ways that build mastery over time.
- Methods and materials for reinforcing at home what your child learns at the Center.
